)Reasons for granting
The application site is a two-storey, detached dwellinghouse in Leighton Buzzard. 75 Stanbridge Road comprises of render with a pitched tiled roof. The application seeks planning permission for the erection of a two-storey rear infill extension and a single storey side extension.
The proposed two-storey extension would be sited to the rear of the dwellinghouse and would be partially visible from certain vantage points within the streetscene. The proposed extension is of a modest size and would infill the area to the rear of the dwellinghouse. The proposal would remain proportionate to the existing dwellinghouse and would harmonise with its existing built form.
The existing detached 'Summer House', sited to the western side of the dwellinghouse, would be removed and replaced with the proposed single storey side extension. The proposal would be connected to the proposed two-storey infill extension and would be of a similar footprint to the existing Summer House. It is considered that the proposed extension would be sufficiently set back from the public highway and would be partially screened from the public realm by the existing fence boundary treatment. The proposal is of a modest, single storey design which is proportionate to the existing dwellinghouse and harmonises with its existing built form.
The proposed developments will be constructed of materials to match the existing dwellinghouse. As such, it is not considered that the proposal would have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area.
The application site is sited adjacent to No.73 and No.77 Stanbridge Road. Due to the scale, design and siting of the proposed developments (in terms of proximity to boundary and/or relationship with neighbouring properties), it is not considered that the proposal would result in an unacceptable loss of light, overbearing impact and loss of privacy to these neighbouring properties.
Due to the siting and positioning of windows (having regard to adequate separation distances contained within the design guidance), it is not considered that the proposed developments would give rise to any overlooking concerns.
The application site would increase from a three to a four-bedroom dwellinghouse. In accordance with the Parking Standards for New Developments Supplementary Planning Document (SPD), the provision of three parking spaces has been demonstrated on drawing number EB/75SR-04.
Leighton-Linslade Town Council were consulted on this application and have raised no objection. Natural England were also consulted on this application but no comments were received.
The application was subject to public consultation and no representations were received.
In conclusion, it is considered that the proposal will be in accordance with Section 12 of the NPPF, Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, the Parking Standards for New Developments SPD and the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide.Reasons for granting

)Will a new extension affect your Council Tax Charge?
The rate of Council Tax you pay depends on which valuation band your home is placed in. This is determined by the market value of your home as at 1 April 1991.
Your property's Council Tax band may change if the property is extended. The Council Tax band will only change when a relevant transaction takes place. For example, if you sell your property after extending it, the new owner may have to pay a higher band of Council Tax.
If however you add an annexe to your property, the Valuation Office Agency may decide that the annexe should be banded separately for Council Tax. If this happens, you will have to start paying Council Tax for the annexe as soon as it is completed. If the annexe is occupied by a relative of the residents of the main dwelling, it may qualify for a Council Tax discount or exemption. Contact the Council for advice on 0300 300 8306.
